I was so inspired by the photo of my daughter helping me hang ornaments on our Christmas tree last year that I decided to use different patterned paper pieces to back some of the triangles along a horizontal line across my page.

Next, I added several epoxy glitter stars from Freckled Fawn to make the triangles look more like Christmas trees after I stitched the cut file down using my sewing machine and some white thread.

I typed my journaling on a die cut tag and layered it on top of the set of trees at the bottom that I cut apart from the original cut file.

Even though this page is fairly simple in design, adding the patterned paper pieces really made a statement and changed the whole look of the cut file!
